Hey all,

So been an interesting Journey. Got into the hobby early this year (February 2020) to make a long story short. Started with a 15G and immediately got hooked. After two weeks of the 15 gallon I've been purchased a 30 gallon and that's where the real journey started.

Started with just the two clownfish back in February. Now as of 13 July 2020 I now have a coral beauty, tomini Tang, yellow watchman goby. As far as my clean up crew I have about 10 snails two fire shrimp and two small crabs.

As far as corals we have a GSP, a Duncan (with lots of heads now) a finger leathe,r hammerhead, zoa and a couple of others that I can't remember the name LOL. Attached is all the pictures as of 13 July 2020. Can't see much of the fish as they are skiddish lol.

As far as the equipment I have a fluval c4 for the filtration, 2 hydor powerheads with a smart wave controller. Just purchased a jeboa DP4 dosing pump and will start dosing soon. For lighting I have the maxspect RSX 100 which is perfect for this tank all the corals are thriving.

On my water parameters have been pretty good since February the only issue I had was pH levels wasn't quite high enough and I did lose some bird's nest Coral. Other than that the tank has been fine and I love it.

Thinking about moving everything in the 30 gallon to the 90 gallon eventually.

Welcome to the hobby! I’m 7 years in, it gets addicting and very rewarding once you get the hang of things! Too bad you weren’t in it sooner, I’ve noticed prices of coral and availability of pieces have changed over the last few years. Regardless, Looks good so far!
